Top 10 Richest Golfers In The World – (Net Worth & Earnings) – 2017

Getting to be amongst the richest golfers in the world is not an easy task. These people, much like many other athletes, spend their whole lives training day after day. Only practice will lead you to achieve perfection. That’s why when someone like them gets their head into any sport, they just crush it.

Sure, golf fans are a very distinctive crowd. I personally don’t like it at all. Not even a tiny bit. It’s mind numbingly boring to watch on TV. I’d rather watch Jersey Shore and lose a couple of brain cells in the process, at least I get to laugh at the people in the show. But hey, you got to give them some credit. Have you given any thought at what is like being one of the richest golfers in the world? Exactly. You might be bored out of your mind hitting a little white ball the whole day long. But then, the night comes, and you remember you are a freaking millionaire.

Oh my god. I can only imagine what the richest golfers in the world might spend their money on. Cars, houses, wall to wall 4k HD TV, and not just any wall, not just some 3×4 wall like the rest of us mortals have in our homes, they must have basically something better than a theater in their own living room.

I got a little off-track there. So, let’s jump to the list of the richest and greatest golfers in the world, shall we?
